Description:
ENGRAVED Antique HENRY DERINGER of PHILADELPHIA Half-Stock LONG RIFLE .28
Octagonal Barrel, Single Trigger, Patchbox
Here we present an antique Henry Deringer Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This example has a octagonal barrel in .28 caliber, intended for small game.
Henry Deringer was a very successful Pennsylvanian gunsmith who started his own company in his early twenties, circa 1809. President Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed with one of Henry Deringer’s pocket sized percussion pistols, the night John Wilkes Booth revenged the South at the Ford Theater. It was not until the 1850s that his prototypical “Deringer” percussion pistol became extremely popular. Once it did become popular, the basic design was copied in dozens of different shops. Not only was it copied, but Deringer’s good name was stamped on guns made by others, some of them not up to the quality standards of Deringer himself. The inventor was apparently very worried about protecting his good name, so he pursued and sued any of the counterfeiters that he could find and warned the buying public to beware of his spurious imitators.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina with a gold band over the breech. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The stock is solid throughout. The patch box does not latch securely at present. The silver thumb plate has a small cross etched onto it.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 36-3/4 inches.
Caliber: .28 Percussion
